First in North America: Jolly Good Hosts Clinical VR Multi Seminar in Boston, Aiming for Mass Production of UGC Medical VR

At the Boston Convention Center on Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Jolly Good Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Kensuke Joji, hereinafter referred to as “Jolly Good”) will hold a large-scale seminar on clinical training VR produced by the UGC* medical VR platform “JOLLYGOOD+” (Jolly Good Plus) on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, in Boston in the U.S. This is the first real-image-based clinical training VR seminar in North America.

JOLLYGOOD+ is a UGC service that enables healthcare professionals to self-produce user-oriented, real-image VR content that Jolly Good has been creating through its own unique method, and has already been introduced to more than 300 universities and hospital facilities in Japan. Although there are many examples of medical VR using CG in the U.S., there is no UGC service that allows healthcare professionals to self-produce real-image VR content.

In recent years, amid rapid changes in the world such as the COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts, there has been a worldwide demand for the establishment of methods to effectively and widely communicate expertise on various topics, such as infectious disease medical care and military medical care, in a short period of time.

Based on this VR seminar, Jolly Good will first actively promote “JOLLYGOOD+” in the U.S., one of the world’s leading countries in medical education, aiming to build a speedy and beneficial medical education environment even in today’s unpredictable world through UGC clinical training VR.

<VR Content to Be Experienced at Seminar (Example)>

Training VR on “ECMO,” the last resort for patients with severe COVID‐19

Absolute Markets Insights forecasts the ECMO global market to grow at an average annual growth rate of 13%, from US $308.1 million (about ¥32.4 billion) in 2019 to US $812.08 million (about ¥87 billion) by 2028. As of February 2020, Japan had a world-leading 1,412 units of ECMO. However, there was still a shortage of qualified personnel who can handle them, and the usage rate was only about 10%.

Jolly Good co-developed a new VR-based training method with SENKO MEDICAL INSTRUMENT Mfg. CO., LTD. under the supervision of Japan ECMOnet and has been contributing to the development of ECMO specialists in Japan by providing a new method that enables repeated training anytime and anywhere in a way as close as possible to real operations.
